The one of the most popular and beloved games on the [NES](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-source-games-console) console was Duck Hunter, and Sure Shot HD is aiming to bring that arcade-style experience back into the home. The system comes with a [tiny console](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thec64-mini) and [toy shotgun controller](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-shooting-system) as well as the 'Big Buck Hunter Pro' arcade game.

The Sure Shot HD console itself is a tiny device that attaches to the bottom of one's TV monitor. It is equipped with infrared lights that can pick up the precise angle and aim of the game's controller (which connects to the system wirelessly via Bluetooth.) Sure Shot HD comes stock with Big Buck Hunter Pro built in, but users are free to access the Sure Shot Shop through the console to purchase other games.
